INDEX.
This book provides a highly authoritative introduction to the promising and fast-advancing field of proteomics, examining the role proteomics plays in the study of biological systems in general and disease in particular. It helps readers understand the structure, function, and interactions of proteins and how this knowledge is used for identifying diseases and developing new drugs." (Forbes.com, 1 November 2010)
"For undergraduate and graduate biology and non-biology students and new researchers, Mishra (molecular genetics and genomics, U. of South Carolina) introduces the field of proteomics and its role in the study of biological systems and disease." (Book News, September 2010)
